In his latest collection of fresh and surprising stories from World War II, popular author and distinguished historian William Breuer recounts over fifty little-known tales of military actions, espionage, and skullduggery on the home front. Based on personal interviews, official archives, and declassified documents, The Air-Raid Warden Was a Spy features intriguing accounts of covert raids and combat experiments, spies and saboteurs, draft dodgers and do-gooders, and various escapes and secret operations. Fascinating and fast-paced, The Air-Raid Warden Was a Spy returns the reader to American shores and, in Breuer's inimitable style, reveals dramatic and pivotal moments during the war, such as: < The rounding up of 3,846 subversive suspects in the United States within the first seventy-two hours after Pearl Harbor. The plane that bombed the Pacific Northwest. The sinking of a Japanese submarine off the California coast. The near destruction of Coney Island, thanks to eager-beaver air-raid wardens who searched the friendly skies for hostile aircraft. The secret plan to draft females. A barrage of explosive balloons. The Nazi U-boat in New York Harbor. ., John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2003, 4, London: Plimlico. Paperback. Flags of Our Fathers. Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Slight browning to pages through age. In this remarkably powerful book the author takes as his starting point one of the most famous photographs of all time. In February 1945 American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima and into a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire from 22,000 Japanese. After climbing through a hellish landscape and on to the island's highest peak six men were photographed raising the stars and stripes. One of those soldiers was the author's father, John Bradley. He never spoke to his family about the photograph or about the war but, after his death in 1994, they discovered closed boxes of letters and photos which James Bradly draws on to retrace the lives of his father and his five companions.
